so far it looks like a 79-85 Toyota steering box is close enough to try
the flat flange is good to make a simple plate and weld right onto the tubing beside the engine

Got the prime weld up in the eagles nest with the Lincoln. I briefly tried the protig on the thin ass 1.25" coolant tube (.055") and the arc would not really start and was wondering every where at 75 amp. the prime weld worked just fine and in control!

Cut up some 3/8" home depot flat bar for the LCA mounts. Bolt threads will be bearing on one side so I just cut under size and ran the 9/16 tap through it

Throttle linkage
slightly fugly but works very smooth with the 2 bearings
i was planning on nylon bushings but figured they would melt, crack or otherwise eat shit in some magic fashion
